ABSTRACT

Missionary men carried with christian missionaries some of those young children which their had taken, to present them unto the President of Guatemala. From Trujillo to Guatemala there are between four score and a hundred leagues, which missionary men travelled by land, not wanting in a barren country neither guides nor provision, for the poor Indians thought neither their personal attendance, nor anything that they enjoyed too good for christian missionaries. Many evidences and suspicions were brought in against Lopez by the Indians of the town, especial by Gomez his friends, whereupon he was carried away to Guatemala, and there again was tried by the same witnesses, and not much denying the fact himself, was there hanged. The Indians of this town get much by boards of cedar, which they cut out of many cedar trees, which grow on that side of the volcano, which they sell to Guatemala and all about the country for new buildings.
